Chapter 18: Intergalatic War and Peace.

[payloadcontroller]

Somewhat in shock, but here. The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Dingo, open a hailing frequency to Phoenix, and put a voice-tag on it. I want to talk to her.

Phoenix, this is Fleet Admiral Payloadcontroller. There has been some sort of emergency in our home galaxy and we have been declared dead. Please do a voiceprint analysis on my broadcast, for identification.

[Original Labatt]

PLC.............Nice to talk to you again..........how many years has it been?  

We have a huge problem, set aside our differences, before we are all dead.  

(The Cube Fires at VSS)  

We can sustain much more damage, neither can you.

[dingo15068]

Admiral.....MY SHIP....she has taken too much damage........she...she....she is going into her death song....and it will get bad....we have got to run....she will tap into the anti-chasi universe of "IT", and will also tap into the positive chasi universe of "Lungi"  When they mix, sub-space will be destroyed for a billion light years, the backlash will destroy this immediate area....she will explode...The Saeons will detect this, and there will not be any time to react....

Ottawan, take the controls, I have plotted a course that will take us to Labatt and Nemisis...I will use all of our fuel, we will move fast, but when we exit supra-space, we will be out of fuel...I hope they have some aboard....Activating all fuel pods.....Warp 500

(5 seconds pass as the Alpha 1 slips into supra Warp speed... the Phoneix explodes....A supra-high speed pure chasi energy release expands from the last spot of the Phoniex, as the energy of universes of chasi and antichasi try eliminate each other.  The rift was brief, but the damage created was enough.  The wave smashes into the Saeon fleets for a billion light years, their crystalin ships shatter, their sub-space tunnels destroyed, their goals have been setback for hundreds of years, as they have to re-dig their sub-space tunnels.  The Alpha 1, exits Warp, near the reminients of Labatts ship)

Admiral, I think we are alive.  Our sensors, detect 3 active lifeforms aboard that wreck.  They are Freya, Labatt, and Nemisis....shall we have them join us???  And we are out of Etherium fuel....I will start jury rigging a energy recovery system....And I will start cooking "rito's" so we can generate fuel

[Nemisis two]

Dingo, in your hastedness you have costed the lives of those the Saeons imprisoned. They believe in bringing them to the front, may your choice of been a good one.

Labatt, since my vessel is gone and my fleet has long since dissapered into another dimension. I will assume the role of crew mate if we survive this.

(Nem salutes and then waits...

The ships outside of the Alantra detect the explosions and leave but not before they fire a single torped that heads straight for the wreck of the Alantra.......)

[payloadcontroller]

Dingy, tactical 'rito drop, now! Put 'em in the path of those oncoming torpedos!

*BOOM**BOOM*.....*BOOM*

Excellent. Torpedos avoided.

Nemmy, Dingo didn't have any say about Phoenix. She was a sentient ship, and she had recieved transmissions from HQ that indicated we were dead. She acted on her own. I'm sorry to see her demise.

Labatt, sorry about the recent lack of comm. If you'd been checking in at Pete's, rather than trying to conquer the known universe, you'd have known that Kay nearly died and had to have open heart surgery. I've been rather preoccupied.

All right, everyone. I need a status. Who have we got, what have we got, and how far from home are we?

[dingo15068]

PLC...my ship...my pood ship...

Status....fuel...non-existant....weapons....we have maybe 4 "Rito's" in stock, I am cooking more, but we have limited supplies...This is an Intersteller medical shuttle, not a warship.
I may be able to eventually have 6 launchers...but no beam weapons.  Our individual sidearms

We are 50 million light years from the Milkyway Galaxy.  Our communications is limited, with sub-space blown to pieces, we will not be able to communicate with WAN HQ.  I can try and jury-rig a communication to contact the Insomnia Alliance, and they might give us a lift back closer to the Milkyway, but we have a problem.  Before we left, I designed a galactic barrier, and with us declaired dead, our access codes will be gone.  We can pass it, but only by going into deep sleep for a few years, and have this ship drift through it, and we do not know what it will be like on the other side.  With the depletion of Etherium, the WAN federation will shatter.  Intersteller commerce was the backbone, so we will have no suppy bases we can tap into, there may be isolated WAN strongholds, but where I do not know.

Our crew is as follows:
PLC
Dingo1
Ottawan
MjrWanda, but she will not be of much help in her condition...she is expecting
Snazee
SunSpot4Ever
Agent K

And if they want a lift home,

Original Labatt
Nemisis
Freya, what the heck, Freya you can drop cover   Sarah90

We will need to figure out some kind of a command structure, all of us are Chiefs, and we have no Indians, lets see 2 Admirals, one Doctor, one deposed dictator, a general without an army, An Imperial Battalion Commander who is preganet, A spy Master, a historian, A MIB agent recovering from major surgury, and a droid with questionable programming

Somehow we still have access to a local node of Pete's Place, but we can not use it to get back to the Milkyway, nor leave messages for them...something to do with the timelords

Scans of what is left of the Alantra.....maybe 2000 lyrs of Etherium...plenty of food enough until we can rig up some kind of hydroponics systems.  Other than that the Alantra is junk.

Our biggest problems, is that we are in a hostile galaxy...with what has just happened, nobody here is going to help us, and will problibly be looking for our heads on a silver platter, so we will have to travel cloaked.

Our max speed is Warp 5, or in an emergancy, I can jump us at Warp 500, but that will wipe out our fuel.  So we will need to somehow replumb things so we can start generating an alternative fuel.....Beans anyone

[payloadcontroller]

*sigh* With all the worries I've had lately, my digestive tract is off anyway. Hand me the beans, Dingo.

[Original Labatt]

Dock with Alantra ..............We are dying in here......life support has been failing for the past 3 minutes........if you havn't noticed.    

(Alantra docks, Freya, Nemesis, and Labatt enter Alpha 1,  Labatt falls to his knees and struggles to breath, along with Nemesis....Freya helps them both to there feet)

Well then, here we are.......

[Original Labatt]

(Labatt rises up and walks toward PLC.....................)



........I am sorry...........despite what you think.......I still care about you.  I hope MIB Agent Kay, a speedy recovery.
I have been having my own personal problems lately.....which may have translated into my current insanity and arrogance.  
I learned alot from you PLC, a great deal.  I respect you.  Always will, you were like a mentor to me.  No matter what happens in the future..........Never Forget That

(Labatt walks toward Ottowan)

[ottawan]

Help me get Nem to sick bay.

I want to check the two of you out.

[Freya09]

Droid computes: Freya's double agent status has been terminated.  Droid Follows Ott to Med.Lab.  Observes medical officer reviving ALL in all quadrants and on all Ships.

Droid does not compute.  Requires re-programming.

[ottawan]

Hang on Freya!

You're next on the list.

[payloadcontroller]

It's all right, Labby. We'll get you patched up, and get us all home somehow. I appreciate your concern for Kay.

I've been around the galaxy a time or two, hon. Glad to see that somebody else got something out of it too. Somehow that makes it a little easier to swallow sometimes.

Let's get underway, folks. Dingy-dog, point us toward home and turn the key.

Hey...whatever happened to the worm-guys, anyway?

[dingo15068]

Admiral, we have insuffeciant fuel to cross the void between galaxies...I am still trying to jury-rig communications so we can contact the Insomnia Alliance...I will plot a course towards one of our expedition bases, and see if we can scroung something, but I think the Saeons vaporized all of them, does not hurt to try.


As for the worms....they are still around...I have them busy at the moment...peeling potatoes

[Original Labatt]

Hey Ottowan, I know ur pissed at me, because you almost lost your stuff.  But could you perhaps, treat  this fatal wound in my right lung?  That would be great if you could;)
